I know your problem is when you fill the gas their are more particals of debree in the gas you buy, so it should be filtered through a piece of cheese- clouth, or a funnel with a strainer in it. To help with your problem you must drain all the gas lines and take off the fuel bowl, which is a round copper, or painted bowl with a couple of screws on the bottom for the high speed adjustment and air mixture, and also empty gas tank and fill with a fresh filtered gas. When you take the bowl off you should see little particals of dirt or tiny rocks. good luck henry. If you need help, |

If you need help, It's a mighty good thing you told the OP to use cheese "clouth" to snag those nasty "particals of debree." No telling when he'd get his whacker started without it.... |
